Beschreibung
Exploring Spirituality and Culture in Adult and Higher Education is written from the unique perspective of teacher, researcher, and author Elizabeth Tisdell who has extensive experience dealing with culture, gender, and educational equity issues in secular adult and higher education classrooms, and formerly in pastoral and religious education settings on college campuses. This important book discusses how spiritual development is informed by culture and how this knowledge is relevant to teaching and learning. For educators, an understanding of how spirituality is informed by culture, and how spirituality assists in meaning-making, can aid in their efforts to help their students' educational experiences become more transformative and culturally relevant.

"The work is an easy read, not overly laden with references butenough to give it authority." (TCRecord.org, 10/8/03)"All teachers of adult and higher education should have a copy ofthis book. It is a beautifully written meditative and practicalguide exploring the connection between culture and spirituality inteaching that points us towards a transforming experience for bothteacher and student."
"Through a compelling blend of vivid biographical vignettes andinformed theoretical analysis, Elizabeth Tisdell explores howspirituality fires adult and higher educators' efforts to createculturally relevant practices. This will be a landmark text in ourefforts to understand spirituality's intersections witheducation."
"This book takes on a crucial topic at just the right time.Adult and higher education is ready for a revival of engagementwith spirituality, and, along with this, the author manages toweave in three other thick skeins of thought: development,transformative learning, and cultural work. This book takes thehugely important step of seeking the deep truth in theinterrelatedness of these skeins, and it moves the discourse aheadin concrete ways."
"This book provides a valuable contribution to the literature onteaching in adult education and higher education. It is apioneering work in the sense it is creating a direct link betweenspirituality, culture, and learning in adult and higher education.While there have been other attempts at addressing these issues,this is the first book, of which I am aware, that links all threetogether."
"This book reveals how spirituality exists as a powerful forcethat shapes and impacts learners and their learning experiences. Itbravely treads where few have traveled by daring to discussspirituality, culture, and education in the same breath."
"Tisdell has a unique perspective that is very much needed. Herawareness that one's spiritual perspective is based on one'sidiosyncratic history which involves age, gender, experience,preferences, and culture is immensely wise."
